The DistilIery Case.

Special to the Globe.
DES MONIES, Ia, March 11.-Judge
Conrad stated to the interested parties to-
day that he had made up his decision as to
the form of decree to be entered in the in-
ternatiOnal distillery case. He said the in-
junction would be absolute and prohibit the
manufacture even for medicinal, mechan-
ical and culinary purposes, under
the permit which Mr.. Kidd holds
from the board of supervision and
which is still in force. AS to super
seding the injunction pending the appeal.
he said he had no authority to do so; that
the proper course would be to apply to the
supreme court for the necessary order.
That tribunal, he said. had undoubted
jurisdiction to suspend the decree pending
appeal, but when he signed the decree his
power over the matter was gone. The de-
cree will not be entered for few days. the
attorneys agreeing on postponement Of
this final act.

New Classification.

The Joint Western classification commit
tee is still in session at Chicago. The most
important action taken so far is in regard to
live stock rates. Under some state laws
the roads are forbidden to limit their liabll-
ity, except as specified in the classification.
To avoid this two classifications have been
made. one at the carriers risk and one at
the owners risk, where the liability is
limited by contract. This will enable the
road to exact higher rate when the risk is
taken. A new classification (E) has been
established on other low classes of freight
Many minor changes are being considered.
and general revision is in progress. Mem
bers OF the Iowa, Minnesota and Dakota
associations have completed the revision of
the merchandise rates to junction points,
and are now engaged in getting the lum ber
rates in conformity.

Lire Rates.

New YORK. March 1.-THE presidents
of the trunk lines met this afternoon at
Commissioner Fink's Office. President
Roberts, of the Pennsylvania company,
presided. The passenger agents committee
report was adopted that second class tick
cts to points west as far as Chicago, should
be retained. On all other routes second
class tickets will be abolished. 1t was felt
that there are many people who lived in the
cities on the east coast who could not afford
to pay first class rates, and were willing to
accept inferior accommodations in ccnsid-
Grafton of the reduced fare, and that it
would be an injustice were the cheap rates
abolished. Immigrant fares will remain
the same as at present for tickets sold in
Europe, but no distinction will be made on
tickets sold Oh this side. The cheap fares
only apply to West bound tickets. The
committee recommendations in regard to
excursion tickets already published were
approved. Agents commissions will be
abolished

STALLION, Marshall, sired by Almont; he by
Alexander's Abdallah; he by Rysdek's

ed with pedigrees of trotting horses, We
copy the following from W. 7. Withers'
catalogue for 1887:
"For transmitting great speed with I'M
fsormity for successive generations, no
sire of Rysdek' Hamleton.ans is compar-
able with Alexander's ADdallah, and no
grandson with Almont. 1t is proposed
to very briefly present the facts that con-
clusively establish these claims.
Alexander's Abdallah was captured by
guerrllas during the late war and died
about % years ago after only brief SER
vice in the stud. The reacords show that
the few SONS OF Alexanders Abdallah have

investigation further it will be found
that thirty-one grand-sons of Alexander's
Abdallah have sired seventy six perform-
ers with records $50 or better. Of fifty
four-great grand SONS of Rysdyk's Ham
bletonian that have sired $50 OF better
trotters. Thirty-six of them are grand
sons of Alexander's Abdallah, and twen-
ty-one of these thirty six are sons of Al"

ander's Abdallah far in advance of the
other sons of Hambletonian as uniform
transmitter of speed, and place his son,
Almont, in the very front rank as pre-.
potent trotting sire. No stallion the same
age ever had one half as many sons that
proved their ability to sire 2:SO or better
performers, as has Almont.
Another important fact remains to be
stated Nearly all the sons Of Almon,
that have sired 2:30, or better trotters
are out of dams that are not standard

FOUND DEAD IN BED.

John Kirby, well-known to all who at

The Registry Bill.

Councilman Kennedy, in the Missouli
an, has presented over one column O.
unalterable facts in support Of his posi-
ton on the registry bill and has moi
left hole for those who favored the bill
to crawl into.
First, the most Objectionable feature oi
the bill was that requiring each man tc
vote in the precinct in which he was re-
gis.ered. For instance, the fall term Of
the district court for Missoula county
is set to begin OH the first Monday oi
November. Election day occurs on the
the next day and had the BGskett bill
become law, it would have been posi-
Bile to practically disfranchise next yeaI
every Juror and witness summoned from
distance to attend the fall term of court
The same would be true of every county
where the district court happened to be
held that week.
Second, in the eastern counties of the
territory, inhabited largely by cattle men
the fall of the year is the season when
the men are almost continually on the
move, from one part of the range to
another, on the round up, and from range
to market and return. 1t is beyond
question that many of these citizens
would have been deprived Of their privi-
lege to vote by the Buskett bill.
Third, another bad feature was the
cost. The bill provided that the registry
agents should receive from the county
funds fee of twenty-five cents for each
man registered. The number of votes
cast last fall was about 5000. 1t is rea.
sonable to suppose that the number who
would be registered next year would reach
4O, 600, so we could have a cost of $4,000
to commence with, Then the bill provid.
ed for the printing and furnishing to the
registry agents variety of books and
blanks and that the names of the regis
tered voters should be published.
Fourth, there are about 200 precincts
in this territory where the registry agent
would not get $40 for his services. In
other words he would be expected to
keep his Office open from August 10th to
October 2lst from 10 a. m, to q p. M, and
on the last ten days also from 7 p, m. to
p. m.; he would registrated each voter
presenting himself, by name, number
date, age, birth place, name of precinct
and description of residence, and other
items in certain cases; write and post at
least five copies of the name registered
examine into all cases alleged fraudulent
registry; make complete copy of the
registration for the judges ofelection; and
made another copy of the names and
number, alphabetically arranged, to be
used by the judges as check list to mark
who have voted. All this for less than
$40. In how many ofthese 200 precincts
could men be found who would attend tc
the work so carefully that the polls could
not be thrown out if complaint were
made? County canvassers have under
the very simple laws of the present time
much trouble in getting correct returns
from numerous precincts, The Buskett
bill would have thrown the election
returns and results into the direst con
| fusion.

THAT SINGLE cHRoNIccRANK." /"
GARDINER, March 18th, 1887,

| GARDINER, March 18th, 1887.
EDITOR CHRONICLE: - That Chronic
Crank" is very much Obliged to the En-
terprise for the compliment extended to
him; but if the Enterprise believes that
there is only one single crank in this
town it is very much mistaken.
Inyour local columns you said that the
citizens of Gardiner aided the division
of the county by long petitions. We
would like to see that long petition
The fact is this: There was petition
in circulation from Livingston in favor
of division; this was signed by some six
or seven, part of whom were non-resi-
dents and the rest non-tax payers Af-
terwards another petition was in circu-
lation against division. This latter petit
ton was signed by about seventy-five, all
of them being residents and taxpayers
There were about fifty more who would
have signed the latter petition, in this
precinct, but on account of too much
snow and short notice received it was
impossible to reach all the legal signers.
Our population in the winter is very
small, and where those "two strings of
petitioners" came from is conundrum
which smells very strongly of fraud.
We must inform the Enterprise, who
is very anxious to know how that single
crank is, that there are about 125 other
'cranks' who are in the same humor as
the single crank, and who are ready, at
any time, to testify to the above state.
ment. If the question of division was
left to the vote of the people of this pre-
cinct, seven-eighths of our population
would vote against it, and there is the
same sentiment in Cooke.
We do not blame Gallatin county very
much for being in favor of division: 1t
had the best of the bargain; but, my
dear Mr.. Editor, if you think we are af.
ter a plum, you are mistaken. We are
only thinking and figuring how we are
going to pay that $4,000 of debts from
the old county and support those officers.
That this single chronic crank "struck
the nail on the head" in regards to the
capabilities of Livingston, is shown by
the latest news from there. ***
